Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for monitoring, diagnosing, and treating sleep disorders such as sleep terrors are provided, which may include any number of features. One feature is an apparatus configured to partially awaken a user to treat a sleep disorder. The apparatus can include one or more sensors configured to monitor a sleep parameter of the user, one or more therapeutic devices configured to apply a therapy to the user to partially awaken the user, and an electronic controller operatively coupled to the sensors and therapeutic devices to determine when to apply the therapy, and how to apply the therapy so as to only partially awaken the user.
Abstract:
A system for sleep induction, detecting and tracking includes a monitor for analyzing single- and multiple-respiration patterns of a user and a stimulus generator for providing to the user multiple stimuli each bearing selectable relationships with selected temporal characteristics of the monitored respiration patterns. At least stimulus is operative to change one or more temporal characteristics of the respiration patterns by synchronization of respiration movements with specific aspects of the stimulus. A sync detector determines at least one measure of synchronization between at least one selected temporal characteristic of selected stimuli and a corresponding temporal characteristic of the respiration patterns for selected relationships between the stimuli and the temporal characteristics of the respiration patterns. A sleep detector indicates onset of sleep and a driver continuously controls the operation of the stimulus generator, the sync detector and the sleep detector based on signals as they are received.
Abstract:
Method for optimizing light and sound programs for a falling asleep phase (ST1) and for an awakening phase (ST2) of a first user (U01), in a system comprising, for the first user and other users, a bedside device (1), a bio parameter sensor (2,3), a smartphone (8), and additionally for all users a central server (5), with: /a1/ collecting, with regard to the first user U01, sleep data and sleep context data, said sleep data comprising at least light and sound program played for the falling asleep phase and for the awakening phase, bio parameters and sleep patterns sequence deduced therefrom, said sleep context data comprising at least previous daytime activity such as, sending this data to the central server (5), /a2/ repeat /a1/ for other users, /b1/ building a user-specific model of each user sleep behavior, /c/ comparing user-specific models to define groups of similar users, each group of users being allocated with a group meta-model with decision rules and preferred playlist of sound tracks, /d/ sending the group meta-model from the server to the bedside device or to the smartphone of the first user U01, /e/ displaying to the first user, using the group meta-model and in function of the time to go to sleep, a recommended list of light and sound programs or a particular light and sound program, namely a single choice, for the upcoming falling asleep phase and/or the next upcoming wakeup phase
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a method for turning on an air conditioner and a device for turning on an air conditioner, belonging to the field of smart home. The method comprises: acquiring (202, 302, 402) a sensor parameter collected by a sensor in a wearable device; determining (204, 404) a physiological parameter based on the sensor parameter; determining (206, 310, 406) a change in a sleep state of a user corresponding to the wearable device based on the physiological parameter; detecting (208, 312, 408) whether the change in the sleep state is in conformity with a predetermined condition; and turning (210, 314) on the air conditioner for heating when the change in the sleep state is detected to be in conformity with the predetermined condition.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for sleep stage determination are disclosed. Example systems disclosed herein includes a complexity module operable to measure the complexity of regularities in an EEG channel, and a stager operable to output at least one corresponding sleep stage. Some example systems also include monitoring a subject, and determine the subject may have impairment, Alzheimer's disease, or anesthesia problem that is associated with sleep staging problem.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for providing sensory stimuli induce and/or enhance sleep and/or slow wave neural activity of a subject during sleep. Operation of the systems and methods is based on measured information related to cardiac attributes and/or respiratory attributes of the subject, and corresponding cardiac parameters and/or respiratory parameters based thereon. Attributes may be measured and/or monitored via one or more sensors, e.g. worn on an extremity of the subject and/or placed at a distance from the subject. Sensory stimulation delivered to the subject during specific targeted periods of sleep may enhance slow wave neural activity.
Abstract:
Wearable apparatus for monitoring various physiological and environmental factors are provided. Real-time, noninvasive health and environmental monitors include a plurality of compact sensors integrated within small, low-profile devices, such as earpiece modules. Physiological and environmental data is collected and wirelessly transmitted into a wireless network, where the data is stored and/or processed.
